Week 7 : The 2nd Briefing (29/8/2018)

The 2nd briefing of fyp1 was conducted on 29/8/2018 at TTL2. The briefing is about workshop on Introduction (Chapter 1) and Literature Review (Chapter 2) and was conducted by Dr Imran Mohamad Sofi. In this workshop, the invited speaker have taught us about :

• Understand the significance of writing a good technical proposal for FYP1.
• Understang the correct ways of writing a solid introduction and literature review chapters in technical proposal.
• Write this two chapter with good writing skills.

Week 6 : Abstract

Agriculture plays a vital role in developing countries . In Malaysia, most of population depend on agricultural farming . Many issues hindering the development of agriculture in developing countries . Hence the project aims at making Automatic plant watering system and IOT technology . The highlighting feature of this project includes smart irrigation with smart control and intelligent decision making based on accurate real time field data . Secondly monitoring the operation via android application in any smartphone.In this project using a three sensor such as soil moisture sensor,temperature and humidity sensor,level sensor. The moisture sensors will be detect amount of water (water content) of the various plants. If the moisture level is found to be below the required level the moisture detector sends the signal to the Arduino board that triggers the Water Pump to show ON and provide the water to the plant. Once the required moisture level is reached the system halts on its own and therefore the Water Pump is turned OFF. To improve the reliability of solar power, a new field of study is currently being developed of an inteligent powered plant watering system

Week 5 : Confirmation of project title

I went to meet my supervisor, Sir Akram to disscussing about my project detail and project title. After done some discussion, my project title is "Development of an inteliggent solar powered plant watering system". I've been told to do some research and find a journal based on the project and submit the abstract about the project before mid-semester break which is week 8.

Week 4 : Surveying a title

After much thinking and researching, I have decided to take a project about automatic plant watering sytem

The synopsis :-

        The project is Automatic plant watering system and IOT technology.  The highlighting feature of this project includes smart irrigation with smart control and intelligent decision making based on accurate real time field data . Secondly monitoring the operation via android application in any smartphone.In this project using a three sensor such as soil moisture sensor,temperature and humidity sensor,level sensor. The moisture sensors will be detect amount of water (water content) of the various plants. If the moisture level is found to be below the required level the moisture detector sends the signal to the Arduino board that triggers the Water Pump to show ON and provide the water to the plant. Once the required moisture level is reached the system halts on its own and therefore the Water Pump is turned OFF. 

Week 3 : Selecting a Supervisor

I scouted for a lecturer to be my supervisor for my Final Year Project, preferably from Electrical Section. Most of the preferable lecturers are unavailable to be my supervisor because they had reached the allocated number of students for each lecturer. As for that, searching process keep going to other section and luckily I decided to search for lecturers that are still available to be the supervisor for FYP. So, I went to find lecturer that available and meet Sir Mohd Akram bin Dandu, which is one lecturer of Section of the Electrics Engineering.

Week 2 : The Briefing

The first week of July 2018 semester started. All FYP 1 candidates have to attend the briefing on 25/7/2018, held by a few of FYP committees at the TTL 2 hall. Here are some of the contents obtained during the briefing: 

• All students must find the supervisor of their choice.
• The FYP title must be suitable and be submitted to the supervisor which is then registered to the FYP website (fyp.bmi.unikl.edu.my)
• Any progresses must be reported to the supervisor and recorded in a blog/logbook.
• The title of our project must be registered until week 6.
